EX20 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside EX20 (Okehampton). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical EX20 2 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £330,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 198%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 22% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the EX20 2 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+45.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−18.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.5% | +4.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.5% | −1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.7% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in EX20 2
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 16 EX20 2 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 96 sales a year before the financial crisis and 60 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market EX20 2 is
Only 16 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes EX20 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the EX20 district median, EX20 2 sits 20% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
Rents around EX20 2
The local authority for EX20 2 is West Devon, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £839 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £598 a month here against £1,342 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, West Devon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £330,000 median sold price, £839 a month is £10,068 a year, a gross yield of 3.1%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Moving up a bedroom in EX: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the EX area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £320,000 | £425,000 (+33%) | £635,000 (+49%) | £840,000 (+32%) |
